It seems like every year, companies are releasing products for the fall earlier and earlier. In fact, as soon as the 4th of July is over, we now can expect store shelves to be flooded with red, orange, and brown decorations —Some stores even put out pumpkin-flavored foods and decorations for Halloween in July. It’s madness, I tell you! And while many of us don’t agree with advertising for the next season in the middle of summer, there are a few moments worth celebrating. For example, back in July, Target release a few of their Halloween costume lines, including a new line specifically designed and tailored for kids in wheelchairs.
Parents of kids using wheelchairs know just how difficult shopping for their child can be. Not only is it difficult to tailor clothes for kids in wheelchairs, but it’s also hard when holidays like Halloween come around, and your kids want to wear the same costumes as their friends — but can’t. It can be pretty heartbreaking as a parent having to explain that to a young child. But now, Target has a new line of costumes made just for kids in wheelchairs, so they can celebrate the holiday along with their friends and not feel left out.

It’s really inspiring to see a big company such as Target incorporate all children with all needs when it comes to Halloween.
